It also seems to have a lot more camo on the sides which is how it looked when the car was initially spied. Why don't people have nicer cameras. The M4 CS was also shot on a shoddy camera. |

I understand you are waitlisted for a CS... and maybe will even get an allocation and buy one if not sticker-shocked by the price... but even if it is a total beast, it will not change the fact that the M2 is an awesome car and a super bargain in smiles per dollar. In the meantime... enjoy your wait and good luck! |

As for the M2. BMW does not want to make the M2 as fast as possible so it does not step on its big brothers toes. Making the M2 CS manual only makes a lot of sense to me. Kind of like what Porsche did with the GT4, only offered in manual. I have two deposits down on a M2 CS so if it comes with DCT only I'm not buying one. |

However, if BMW pulls the smart "M-DCT = standard" trick, the base price will incorporate already that option. Then if BMW offers 6MT as a "free of charge option", we all pay M-DCT money for the 6MT...

Honestly hope for MT only. Helps maintain the M4 CS as the faster car around a track and reduces weight/ cost.

M4 CS will have a tuned S55 (maybe not GTS tuned, but tuned up from the standard), so will have a large hp advantage on the M2 CS to make it faster. I am not sure of the logic of assuming they will make the M4 CS DCT-only, and go an entirely different way with the M2 CS. Why call it the same thing and hve a different philosophy? But I will be happy to be surprised on that, for the sake of all you purists waiting for it.

I will be really pissed off if they offer the DCT as standard and have the manual transmission as a no cost option. I do not think that will happen either because that would equate the DCT to the regular automatic transmission which is also standard on all the regular BMWs with the manual as a no cost option. |

Looks like the forthcoming M4 CS will be M-DCT only and get the mild ZCP power bump:
http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...postcount=1060 http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...postcount=1063 The M2 CS test mule spotted (by a German forum member) at BMW M HQ featured a manual transmission.
